THE PERFECT FAMILY CAR FOR RECOVERING BOY RACERS??

EV Channels Review

The Cupra Tavascan is presented as a practical family EV for 'recovering boy racers,' aiming to bridge the gap between hot hatches and sensible electric SUVs. The reviewer praises Cupra's effort in differentiating the Tavascan from its VW Group siblings, particularly noting its aggressive, angular exterior design and distinctive interior with unique materials and bronze accents. The driving experience is highlighted as a strong point, with sharper steering and throttle response compared to the ID.4 and Enyaq, offering an eager and confident feel even on wet B-roads. However, the firm suspension, especially at lower speeds, is identified as a significant drawback, potentially detracting from comfort. The brake pedal feel is also criticized for being mushy and lacking tactility. While the interior is lauded for its adventurous design and good equipment levels on the base model, the reviewer points out the persistence of some VW Group EV usability quirks, though improved over earlier models. Ultimately, the Tavascan is recommended for those seeking a practical, stylish family EV with a sporty edge, but for pure driving thrills, alternatives like the Hyundai Ioniq 5N or smaller Cupra models are suggested.
